In an open letter sent out
on April 4, Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day explained that multiple clinical trials
have been set up to determine whether Remdesivir is a safe and effective
treatment for COVID-19. Gilead Sciences, Inc., is an American biopharmaceutical
company that researches, develops and commercializes drugs. The company focuses
primarily on antiviral drugs used in the treatment of HIV, hepatitis B,
hepatitis C, and influenza etc. Gilead Sciences tweeted few days ago
“ It’s
impossible is not impossible, its simply that hasn’t been achieved yet”
several negative experiments results to fight against this novel viral infection,
giving killing drastically thousands of
people not in America but worldwide. Health expertise declared this viral “incurable”
giving up on hope but this recent tweet of Gilead Sci, is a light in hopeless
world. Gilead reported “positive data” emerging from their latest trials. Gilead
reporting, Remdesivir "positive
antiviral drug" for novel corona virus pandemic in their latest emerging
data. According to developer Gilead
Sciences:
“We understand that the
trial has met its primary endpoint and that NIAID will provide detailed
information at an upcoming briefing,” said Gilead in a statement released 29
April, 2020.”
Remdesivir experimented on
critical or moderate COVID-19 patients are the resulted data went 4% above than
the results which were observed through earlier experiment.
In U.S, Remdesivir is
awaiting as a positive anti-viral which was previously used to treat EBOLA
patients. Ebola is not viral like COVID-19, it is rare but deadly virus that
causes body pains, diarrhea and internal external body bleeding. Its vaccine is
not discovered yet to eradicate it completely. In America, Remdesivir showed
positive results in some experiments. Although it is considered as anti-viral
but doctors didn’t recommend to take any prescription without consultation. Remdesivir did not show benefits in a trial
in China, according to reports that emerged last week.
It was revealed that China suspended two
clinical trials for remdesivir, saying that the "epidemic has been
controlled well at present." China has controlled this viral disease to
some extent and “Wuhan” the city of china from where this virus was originated
initially and back to its normal life repressing lock-down. China initially controlled
the Covid-19 Outbreak was Traditional Chinese Medicine Concoctions Used Alone or
in Conjunction with Antiviral Protocols. Chinese medical authorities have
claimed that an antiviral drug called “Favipiravir” has shown
promise in treating COVID-19 patients, showing positive improvement in Covid-19
infectious in just few days. “It has a high degree of safety and is clearly
effective in treatment,” Zhang Xinmin, an official at China’s science and
technology ministry, told reporters IN MIDS of March, 2020 since when the China’s
pandemic is under control. The drug, known also by its market name Avigan and
developed by a Japanese Fujifilm subsidiary called Fujifilm Toyama Chemical,
was reportedly able to turn COVID-19 tests negative for those who were infected
after just four days as part of a trial
involving 240 patients from Wuhan, China, and 80 patients in Shenzhen. Without
treatment, the median time was 11 days, according to the reports of “The
Guardian.” But it’s far from perfect at stopping the spread of the deadly
virus.
World health organizations
and NIAID (NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE) are
experimenting several antivirals to fight against the breakout of coronavirus. The
various trials of remdesivir have come under intense scrutiny yet.
